FaceCulture, http://www.faceculture.nl , caught up with singer/songwriter Andy Cairns just before their gig in the Melkweg on November 22. In the dressing room we talked about the leave of Martin McCarrick earlier that year, the new album, recording, the painful year 2002, lyrics and lots more!

Andy goes deeper into the following questions and more:

Rise Up (Make Yourself Well) - As the years ache on / You get the face you deserve
is this song about yourself? How come you were not feeling well in 2002? What did you personally and the band learn in that year? What made you decide to become a three piece again? Why did Martin leave? Do you still speak to Martin? What does he think of Never Apologise Never Explain?
Here Be Monsters - Because I’m lost, alone and afraid of the future
Are all songs on Never Apologise Never Explain written in the same mind frame? How does a Therapy? song come about? Do you start with the lyrics? What did you change in the songwriting process for Never Apologise Never Explain?
Has Therapy? been a good therapy for you the last 15 years?
Why don’t you like recording studios anymore? When did you lose the ‘us against the world’ feeling?
How come you didn’t know what you were doing during the three year recording of Semi-Detached?
How were the songs recorded for Never Apologise Never Explain? How long did the recordings take?
How would you describe Never Apologise Never Explain in one word? And the other albums?
What are your favourite Therapy? albums? What is Therapy? for you all about?
Rock You Monkeys - Fucked in the ass by a pinko snitch
Rock You Monkeys - A fully fledged bible black-belt tyrant / The F.B.I. the C.I.A / Of, fuck me, fuck me U.S.A.
Why is Rock You Monkeys a tribute to the Ramones?
This Ship is Sinking - The ship is sinking / And you did it / It took you five minutes / And I died in an instant
What is writing songs for you all about? Why do you like analysing songs and books, when you’re not fond of analysing your own work?
Where do you live? Do you still visit Belfast?
Why are you the sole lyricist?
Polar Bear - You fence me in / I’ll turn on you
Do you always try to fit the feel of the lyrics and music together?
What kept you going in the 15 years of Therapy??
What do you think of artists who use the words ‘career’ and ‘masterplan’? Why don’t you have a masterplan?
Is the music industry worse than 15 years ago? Is the quality of the songwriting declining?
Dead - Friends, who fuckin’ needs them

Andy’s just a cool dude! I thought he handled the Martin question in the classiest way possible.

Only issue I had was who was that person rattling around in Andy’s room? That person was making all kinds of noise.

Yeah, he mentioned it very quickly. I think he misunderstood the initial question, mentioned they send mails every now and then, and quickly returned to what the question was about. It might be hard to pick up if you’re not Irish ;) as Andy has a fairly broad accent.

Yeah, for me it’s kinda hard, too. I guess it’s that sort of Northern Irish dialiect he speaks. Difficult thing if you speak English as a foreign language. I’ll have to watch a few more times I guess.

rightclick on the pic and go to ‘properties’ copy the link.
past it in your adressbar (don’t know the right word) and from there on you can save it on your hard disc.

Being a therapy?-fan for 10 years and visiting Northern Ireland a few times in the past, must have been a good training, I didn’t have any problems understanding this man :cool:
Nice interview, but loads of noise in the background :)

under OS X you need to download Microsoft Media Player 9 or VLC, both will play the file, though I recommend VLC (as MMP 9 sucks :D)

If the file won’t play under Safari, or any other browser, use the direct link someone posted by typing it into the address bar of safari and hit alt+enter which should download the file to your desktop (or the download directory u specified for safari)

hope this helps :D

I tried so hard to understand what he said about the making of “Semi-Detached” but I just couldn’t make out his words.

Anyway, nice interview. Andy is a really cool guy. He didn’t even laugh when the interviewer said “Baby One More Time” was the last really good song that came out.
